Tour Kick Off: There's Something About You, Olivia Bennet by Valerie G. Miller #nowontour #historical #giveaway #rabtbooktours

Historical

Date Published: 11-26-2024

Two women. Two generations. A lifetime of secrets…

Sydney, 1989. When a secret trunk belonging to her enigmatic mother is delivered, Olivia Bennet’s safe and predictable world is thrown into disarray.

Inside the trunk, long-buried secrets tell of a different life that is totally foreign to shy and unadventurous Olivia. Secrets she’s certain her mother intended to stay hidden.

For the first time, Olivia has hope of finding answers about her father, and along with it, her identity. But only if she has the courage to face who she truly is.

Sydney, 1964. Amidst the vibrant backdrop of multicultural inner Sydney, Rosemary Benito plans to leave behind her painful past and embrace the freedom her new home offers.

While her exotic beauty attracts unwanted attention, if she works hard enough in her new country, Rosemary can become whatever—and whoever—she wants. She just has to make sure her old life doesn’t catch up with her.

Neither woman can change their pasts. But if they’re brave enough, they both have the power to determine their futures…

A poignant family saga full of love and loss that spans two generations. There’s Something About You, Olivia Bennet, reveals the tender bond between mother and daughter, the undeniable ties that bind generations together, and the importance of belonging.

An act of savage violence shatters Keres’s life. Her heart and soul demands vengeance. To hunt a monster, she must become a monster.

Ronin is tracking the person who’s been sniping his marks, and is surprised when he finds the beautiful red-head wielding the deadly knife.

About the Author

I began reading my mom’s Harlequin Presents in the fifth grade, and my love for romance was born and from that first book, I knew I wanted to write romance novels. My first book was finally accepted for publishing in 2009. Since then, I’ve become a best selling author writing in many different genres. I try to write characters who aren't cookie cutters and push myself to write complicated situations that I have no idea how to resolve, forcing me to think outside the box. I strive to create characters who are complex and full of flaws. Deep passion romance between heroes and heroines who find redemption through love.

Defying betrayal and hardship, Chato fights to save his family and his people's rightful place in the West.

As the Apache Wars roar toward their conclusion in the summer of 1886, renowned Apache army scout and leader Chato joins a delegation of scouts to Washington, D.C., to meet President Grover Cleveland. Their mission? To plead their case for the Chiricahua scouts to remain at Fort Apache and cultivate their lands in peace.

For his unwavering loyalty and service, Chato is awarded a silver medal from Cleveland, along with the implied promise that the scouts can stay where they are. However, after Geronimo's surrender, Chato and his fellow scouts are instead transported to the harsh confines of Fort Marion, Florida, as prisoners of war. They, and the Chiricahua people as a whole, will be deprived of their freedom and their way of life for the next three decades.

Book Blitz: Captured Heart by Jacqueline Francis #romance #rabtbooktours

Romance

Date Published: February 5, 2025

Some captors don’t need chains to hold your heart hostage.

Just one last job, he said.

It will be easy money, he said.

You don’t even have to do the dirty work.

I worked for Victor Salazar for years. He’s an exceptional liar and a master manipulator, so I should have known that every word that came out of his mouth was horse crap. After I spent four years in prison because of a job I did for him, I swore to myself that I would never get involved with him again.

But then he offers me a deal so sweet I can’t refuse. He’ll clear my debt, pay me enough to start over, and all I have to do is get close to a girl, get some information, and get out. Sounds simple, right?

Wrong!

Katelyn Akiyama isn’t just some girl. She’s sharp, kind, and way too good for someone like me. The closer I get, the harder it is to remind myself this is just a job. But Victor doesn’t forgive mistakes, and he doesn’t take no for an answer.

Now, I’m trapped between the only girl I’ve ever cared about and the man who can ruin my life. One wrong move and I could lose everything.

When I made a deal with the devil, I had no idea the price would be so high.

Warning: Contains a splash of dub-con.

Will and Andreia bond over shared tragedies and a yearning to heal a dying ocean as they seek to learn how her brother spent his final days.

Andreia brings Will to her undersea home, part of a hidden civilization inhabited by smugglers, hackers, treasure hunters, and traders—all members of a different species, driven to the edge of extinction by human diseases and climate change. As feelings between the two grow, the investigation into her brother’s death leads to a sinister plot by a fanatical cabal. Together, Will and Andreia must find a way to save both humanity and the ocean without imperiling the existence of her species.
